EDITORS COMMENTS
William Coutts Keppel, 7th Earl of Albemarle (1832-1894), is depicted in this satirical cartoon published in Vanity Fair in an issue dated around 1870. The illustration, titled "The Auxiliary Forces," features Keppel dressed in military uniform, seated on a throne-like chair, with an ape at his feet. The ape, dressed in a military uniform and holding a sword, is shown saluting the earl, symbolizing the auxiliary forces under his command. Keppel was a British soldier and politician, who held various military and political positions throughout his career. He was styled as Viscount Bury from 1851 until he succeeded his father and became the 7th Earl of Albemarle in 1891. The cartoon reflects the satirical and often critical nature of Vanity Fair during this period, as it pokes fun at the aristocracy and their involvement in military and political affairs. The illustration was created by the renowned Italian-born caricaturist Carlo Pellegrini, also known as "Ape," who was a regular contributor to Vanity Fair. Pellegrini's distinctive style and keen observation of his subjects made him one of the most popular and influential caricaturists of the late 19th century. This print offers a unique glimpse into the historical context of the time, providing insight into the role of the aristocracy in military and political affairs and the satirical commentary on their actions. It is an important addition to any collection of British social history or military history, and a testament to the enduring legacy of Vanity Fair as a source of historical documentation and cultural commentary.
